Hotel Options:

 

We have rooms blocked out at three hotels, which are listed below. They all are equally distant from the wedding--a taxi from any of them to the wedding probably will be $10 at most. (Without traffic it would be under 10 minutes; however that's rarely the case in Manhattan. Allow at least 20 minutes to be safe.)

 UPDATE (Feb. 27): Rates have been dropping lately, maybe because of the economy, so in some cases you may be able to get an even lower rate than the rate we locked in when we blocked out the rooms. We advise you to check online to see current rates before reserving a room in our wedding block.
 

• We have a block of rooms at The Helmsley Towers, which are near the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center.  They are essentially studio apartments with either a king bed or two double beds, and a kitchen that has dishes and dishwasher etc, and cable tv.  It is at 70th and York.  The building is part hotel and part housing for hospital staff.  There isn't room service, but there are many restaurants that deliver in the neighborhood, and a 24-hour deli right next door.  They are going to be $169 a night for the double and $176 a night for the king.  Phone number to reserve is 212-472-8400, mention Hicks-Stallard Wedding to get the rooms. The rooms will be available until the beginning of April.
